Google+ on Android, iPad goes tablet-sized

[![Google on Android, iPad goes tabletsized][1] ][2]

[Google+][3] just got a makeover very recently, but it was still very much oriented towards phones -- that's been solved [as of today][4]. The social networking app is now optimized for Android tablets and the iPad, with a whole new navigation system and Hangout video chats suited to bigger screens. The layout is landscape-friendly and, if you have a [new iPad][5], will take advantage of every pixel on that Retina display. Android users can get the update today; iPad owners will have to wait for a release coming "soon." Android phone owners are getting some of the benefits of the supersized interface in their own, more modest screen sizes as well.
